- Caribbean Perspectives on the British Canon from Shakespeare to Dickens

Bag om Postscripts

"By adopting a Caribbean perspective through which to re-examine seventeenth- to nineteenth- century texts from the British canon, this collection of essays uncovers the ways in which the literature produced at the height of British imperialism was used to consolidate and validate the national identity of the colonizer, and to justify political and cultural domination of Other places like the Caribbean. The contributors critique a wide range of verse and prose from the works of Shakespeare, Donne, Defoe, Austen, Brontee, Froude, Kingsley, Trollope, Jenkins, Stevenson, Barrie, Carroll and Dickens, revealing a literature that was very much a product of its time, but that was also responsible for contemporary and later conceptions of the Caribbean and other outposts of empire"--Back cover.
